Ingredients

For both versions:

  • 120ml OGGS® Aquafaba
  • 120ml vegetable oil
  • 120ml soya milk
  • 275g self raising flour
  • 100g grated plant-based cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp butternut squash
  • Salt and pepper

For cheddar and spinach muffins:

  • 2 tbsp frozen spinach, defrosted and chopped
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric

For tomatoes and 'ricotta' muffins:

  • 1 tbsp plant-based alternative to ricotta (we like Julienne Bruno's SUPERSTRACCIA)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp sun blushed tomatoes, chopped

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C Fan (190°C / Gas 5)

  2. Take a couple of tablespoons of cooked butternut squash (you can pre-make and freeze!), then whizz together in a blender with a teaspoon of oil to make a puree.

  3. Get your mini muffin tin ready, we like to use silicone ones - as they're easy to pop the mini muffins out.

  4. Mix together the OGGS Aquafaba, vegetable oil and soya milk.

  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flavouring for your muffins:
    For cheddar and spinach muffins - mix the spinach (squeeze any excess water out first!), turmeric and butternut squash puree.
    For tomatoes and 'ricotta' muffins - mix the tomatoes, paprika, plant-based alternative to ricotta and butternut squash puree.

  6. Mix together the flour, grated cheese, salt, pepper and caster sugar.

  7. Add the wet ingredients and the flavourings together to the dry ingredients.

  8. Add two teaspoons of the mix to each section of your mini muffin tray.

  9. Bake for 14 minutes then leave to cool for around 10 minutes. Yummy served warm or perfect cold for a picnic!
